American House, Boston, 16 Novr Dear Mrs Silsbee, I trust to be in Salem this evening, at 8 o’clock; but I shall not have the happiness of com- ing to your house. I have just discover- ed that an incon- [page break] siderate engage- ment made long since to to Peter- boro tomorrow, re quires that I should Spend the night in Boston; & so I shall return hither, in a private carriage, directly after my lecture, and [page break] a foolish cold that made me question, till this morning’s sunshine, whether to come to Salem at all, will make me a quiddle, & keep me close to the Lyceum Hall. So forgive me according [page break] to your great kindness. Yours ever, R. W. Emerson Mrs Silsbee
